As a Eucharistic Minister at Kane Hospital I met Sophie. She was a very pleasant person to minister too. I do some work in Albany and Troy NY, she told me of the years she lived in NY. I am having a mass said for her by the Monks of St.Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe Pa. My paryers wiil be with her.

Dick and Carol Ann,
So sorry about your mom's passing. I'll remember the visits to see Aunt Sophie and Uncle Andy. Always loved their visits and late night card games at our house on Troy Schenectady Rd. So many changes in such a short time...
